The sadness of any “ism” is that it tries to address any issue in terms of the “ism”. Al has unleashed “Globalwarmingism” on the world, and now any issue is viewed by its adherents as subject to the cosmology of this religion.

Globalwarmism is the socialist movement’s Battle of the Bulge. It is one last desperate attempt to implement central economic planning.

The only consolation, is that before the end of this century, the name of “Al Gore” will be synonymous with the word “idiot.” He will be known as the greatest fool in history.

Once they tell us the debate is over and the concensus is that universal health care cures global warming we will all be screwed

Last attempt? ...probably not, just the current one....

The book that most approaches a true “Key to All Mythologies” is “The Everlasting Man” by GK Chesterton.

The entire text is freely downloadable from many sites.

If you click on my tagline you will see that I predicted the development of a new religion that is totally crazy.

I wrote that before anyone took "human caused" global warming seriously.

So let it be official--I nominate "global warming" as the new great religion of the twenty first century.

As I predicted, it is absolutely totally loony.

:-)

A liberal-leaning friend (a certified genius) just told me that human-accelerated global warming is verified through extensive study of geological layers, patterns of deep frozen ancient ice and other esoteric indicators. I countered that a mere few hundred years of climatological tracking and the scrying of chicken innards don’t counter that we’re on the warmest end of an ice age cycle.

But you can’t argue with an automaton who won a Golden Globe, an Academy Award and a Nobel Peace Prize for emitting so much bovine methane.

Newton — despite his wanderings into alchemy — was no Causabon. He saw the limits of what he knew, and knew the vanity of striving to know all.

And Algore is certainly no Newton!

Rex Murphy is host of CBC Radio One's Cross-Country Checkup and contributes weekly TV essays on diverse topics to CBC TV's The National. (See Rex's TV commentaries).

Most of these stories come from Canada, Australia and the UK. Other than John Stossel's articles there seem to be few from the US.
